Last winter I became very ill. At one point I thought I was going to die. The doctor told me that I needed to have my gall bladder removed and all sorts of tests were ran. I read many forums from people who had their gall bladders removed and they had a lot of health problems such as weight gain, diahrrea, fatigue (just to name a few). This scared me quite a bit as there's no way to reverse it once it's done. So then I started researching alternative remedies. There are a lot out there. I've tried quite a few of them and I have to say that they DO WORK. I never had the surgery. I helped myself get better though taking supplements. I feel so much better now! I feel back to my old self again. I am not here to sell anything. Just to offer people hope who want to salvage their health.
Gall bladder problems can exist even if stones do not show up on an ultrasound. There can be sediment and the bile can be thick, like sludge making it very hard for the gall bladder to squirt it out. It slows down the digestive system and estrogen accumulates in the bile and liver causing anxiety, and making the gall bladder/ liver even more sluggish. The whole digestion system can slow down causing a build up in the intestines causing similar symptoms to appendicitis (which I had) and often unnecessary appendectomys are perfomed.
The idea to help yourself is to get that bile thinned out, or get those stones dissolved and get that gall bladder contracting. If it does not contract, it can get worse and even get infected. There are herbs and supplements that can do all of these things. There are even ones that help calm the attacks and help with pain. The one that has worked very best for me is Chanca Piedra. It helps with pain and dissolves stones and thins out the stagnant bile, increasing function and out put. But there are many other alternative remedies such as taurine, vitamin C, peppermint oil, turmeric, milk thistle, there are also product formulations containing several herbs. And other things you can do to help is getting exercise and making sure you get enough healthy fats in your diet to contribute to healthy bile.
A no fat diet in my opinion is the worst thing you can do for your gall bladder. That just puts your gall bladder in a more stagnant situation where it is not getting exercise. It needs to be contracting. Get that bile moving. There is a lot of information out there, but you have to look for it. Take charge of your health. Don't just sit back and let someone else do the driving with your health - you may not like where you end up when the trip is over.
